HUFELAND, CHRISTOPH WILHELM (1762-1836) , German physician, was born at Langensalza on the 12th of August 1762. His early education was carried on at
Weimar
 , where his father held the office of
court
  physician to the grand duchess. In 1780 he entered the university of Jena, and in the following year proceeded to Gottingen, where in 1783 he graduated in
medicine
 . After assisting his father for some years at
Weimar
 , he was called in 1793 to the chair of
medicine
  at Jena, receiving at the same time the dignities of
court
  physician and councillor at Weimar. In 1798 he was placed at the head of the medical college and generally of state medical affairs in Berlin. He filled the chair of
pathology
  and therapeutics in the university of Berlin, founded in 1809, and in 1810 became councillor of state. He died at Berlin on the 25th of August 1836.
Hufeland
  is celebrated as the most eminent
practical
  physician of his time in Germany, and as the author of numerous works displaying extensive
reading
  and cultivated and
critical
  faculty.
The most widely known of his many writings is the treatise
entitled Makrobiotik, oder die Kunst, das menschliche Leben zu
verlangern (1796), which was translated into many languages. Of his
practical
  works, the
System
  of Practical Medicine (
System
  der praktischen Heilkunde, 18181828) is the most elaborate. From 1795 to 1835 he published a
Journal
  der praktischen Arznei and Wundarzneikunde. His autobiography was published in 1863. There are sketches of his life and labours by Augustin and Stourdza (1837).
